This is a good crowd. I thought it was only going to some great shares and Law Enforcement people and this weather is so beautiful. The heat, i love the heat. I am thrilled to be back in my home state, florida. Florida. [applause] im honored to receive the endorsement of dozens of incredible florida sheriffs and we just received the shares will be happy to hear that we just received the endorsement of many of these organizations around the United States. I cannot imagine they are endorsing the other side the way things are going. I would think that is a tough endorsement. This morning come i was also deeply grateful to meet so many other great, great Law Enforcement they came to the oval office. They came to the white house. There is a big love affair between us and Law Enforcement and it is especially great in the state of florida and i appreciate it. I know the gentleman behind me and they have been doing a fantastic job but as long as i am president , i will never defund your police, i promise you. [applause] police. Ncrease your instead, we will defend our police and give our Law Enforcement heroes the resources, equipment, and support and respect that they so richly deserve. We are delighted to be joined today by a very good friend of mine. A man who is a great governor and who was a great senator, rick scott. Rick, thank you. Alex cesar, the man that is youy having our covid know, they are starting to give us really high marks on this china virus. It should never have come here. They should never have allowed it to happen. Where are rick and where is alex . Hello, fellas and thank you. Proud shares and police to use all across this great state, we appreciate you being here. Today, governor desantos and senator scott and i will participate in a briefing on floridas battle against the china virus. My administration is also hurricanenitoring the approaching the florida coast. In fact, ive got a get out of here. It is right behind me. [laughter] have a great evening. Good luck. Have a great evening, fellas. We will all do whatever is andssary to help florida the storm, i guess it is going to be a rough storm but i know what they. After having done this for 3. 5 years, you have seen worse. You have seen some beauties. As soon as the storms came in, i signed the emergency declarations. Before rick would even ask for it or ron and they asked very quickly, both of them, i can tell you. I have complete confidence in your governor. He is doing a fantastic job. As you know. That is good. [cheers and applause] ill have to tell him. And am completely confident in the resilience of this date. Our nation has witnessed an appalling assault on americas Law Enforcement and Law Enforcement officers, incredible people. And it has been very unfair. They have not been given the backup they need from elected officials. In many cases, i dont call it leadership. They just happened to be elected but they are not leaders. Radical left, educators and anarchists in portland have burned city streets and attacked Law Enforcement with bricks and cinderblocks and fireworks and explosives. And they say it is just water. Frozen water in frozen bottles that they throw. And food. They bring food. Canned soup. Pros, a lot of them are professionals and they are professional anarchist. Canned soup. Isnt that nice. It is meant to throw and when they get caught they say it is just for my family. Isnt that nice . But they use it to throw. I dont think you see that too much down here. If you saw it down here, you would not be seeing at long. [applause] it wouldnt be long. It would be long. They would not be throwing soup at these guys. In jacksonville, florida a mannequin dressed in a Police Uniform was hung in effigy recently from a highway overpass. You saw. Not going to happen. Democrat politicians across the nation have embraced the Dangerous Campaign to the fund comedy fame, and even abolish our police. We are not abolishing our police. Nancy pelosi, refer to federal Law Enforcement officers as dorm troopers. That you know what stormtroopers are, right . Who must be stopped. The people that are anarchist and the people that are terrorists they dont have to be stopped but she wants our Police Officers stopped. That is not happening. Joe biden is viciously slandering our police if he actually knew what he was talking about which i dont think he does dont take it personally because he has no idea what he is talking about. Readsut it there and he it. Sometimes he reads it and sometimes he doesnt. Pretty soon, he will be able to do that either. And said that when the well armed officers do their job and enforce the law, they become the enemy. I see. They become the enemy when they enforce the law. That is nice. When asked if he supported Cutting Police budgets he looked at them and said yes. But again, i dont think he knew exactly what the question meant. Too complicated. Platform wasty developed with bernie sanders, crazy bernie. The only guy i have ever seen that is a better loser than bernie. If pocahontas would not have run, he wouldve won super tuesday. She stayed for super tuesday and left right after super tuesday. If she wouldve left the race the day before, bernie wouldve gotten it and then he gets out and he is friends with everyone just like it never happens. I dont know if he has another run in him. Hes not looking too good but he is a great loser. And i have to say, bernies votee we had 50 of the were bernie people because they loved trump with trait. Look at what we did with china. In, wethe plague came were doing so great. Better than any country have ever done has ever done. We were beating china at every level. 67 years ago they were having the worst year and we were having the best year we have ever had with our economy and jobs whether it is africanamerican employment, Asian American employment among women, hispanic employment was the best ever in history. Hispanic employment. Who is hispanic . And he has panics in the crowd any hispanics in the crowd . People without a diploma, high school, people with a diploma from high school, people that went to college, finished college more groups than youve ever heard and everything go group is doing the best they have ever done. The stock market was the highest it ever was. Nasdaq is actually higher. And we had the best job numbers just recently. But we had the best of everything and the good news is that we rebuilt our military. 2. 5 trillion. Think about it. E totally rebuilt our military when i took it over, it was depleted. We had fighter jets that were 52 years old. I dont care who the enemy is. We have all brandnew fighter jets. Lots of f35s, super jets. We have new missiles and new rockets into everything. New tanks. We have a brandnew military. A lot of the equipment is coming very soon. All made in the usa. That is very important. [applause] bernieave people like who want to reimagine public safety. We are going to reimagine reimagine them. Dont know much about what they do. I can tell you one thing, i support them and the reason is there is no one better in the world. They dont have to reimagine, they are the best in the world. Nationwide, this is hard with chicago and all the places run by the radical left, our numbers nationwide are the best they have ever been. Good crime numbers nationwide which is Pretty Amazing when you add a couple of places like portland, seattle, and chicago. Your radicals like representatives alexandria ocasiocortez. A real beauty. I call her aoc plus 3. Does not love our country. You are going to get me in trouble. Eyewall tell them what you said. They made the exact same statement as you and they criticized a for not getting angry at the people in the audience. You remember me . We wont say that but they know what i mean. B. And they alli mean to defund and disband police departments. That is what they want to do. Manifesto. Ernies i call it a manifesto. They dont call it that. It is sort of strange. It is further left than bernie is. Open borders. Dont go after criminals. Immediate education for illegal aliens. Dont care for illegal aliens when our own people dont necessarily get it. It is further left than bernie ever was and it is a disaster. And ban fracking. Forget about energy. Two days ago i was in texas and i said bernie wants to ban fracking and oil. They said we did not know that. We think we will vote for trump. Winning texas and being against oil and gas is not good. Do you agree . They are also against guns. They want to get rid of your Second Amendment. They will, if something happens here, when of the unexpected things that could happen. They would immediately go for the Second Amendment and i am protecting your Second Amendment. [applause] supports lethal sanctuary cities which release dangerous criminal aliens under the streets. They protect aliens much more so than people that are not aliens. They protect criminals. Biden opposes the Death Penalty even for cop killers and child murderers. In boston where you have the animal that killed so many people during the boston set his, they just conviction for the Death Penalty back to the lower court. They will argue about that for a long time and it is ridiculous. Under the last Administration Come a funding for local police was cut by hundreds of millions of dollars and now they are talking about a much larger cut. 80 of the state and local enforcements surveyed reported a drop in federal funding. And ms 13 was allowed to go wild in our cities during the last administration. Andave taken thousands thousands of ms 13 the hell out of our country. And now with the wall up to 267 miles we have built 267 miles. You never hear about the wall anymore. It used to be the biggest subject. I want the Fake News Media to talk about the wall here it has had a great impact on the border. Mexico has had a great impact. They have 27,000 soldiers on our southern border rejecting us from people coming in from lots of places. Some places that are not working out so good but from mexico and coming illegally into our country. Honduras, guatemala, el salvador. So, we have the strongest order we have ever had and as the wall goes up, nothing gets through that wall. That wall was built to last a long time. I went to border patrol. Border patrol, they are incredible people. I asked them what kind of wall did they want to have . They said we need to have some seethrough ability. We want steel but also concrete. Outside and concrete on the inside and if you could put heavy strength is gettingsaid, this a little bit much but we gave them everything they want. And the plate on top is an anticlimb plate which makes it very tough to climb. It makes it much tougher to climb. I figured we could save a few bucks but we did not but we got it for the right price. Almost at 270 miles. At the end of this year, it will be just about finished. And we are doing more wall then going to we were do. We will be over 500 miles and it is having a tremendous impact. Wherever the wall is built, people are not coming through. The victims of the radical antipolice policies are millions of innocent americans color, andce, background including some amazing hispanic americans who follow our laws, love our country and uplift our communities wanting safety for themselves and for their families. And i will tell you what, the hispanic americans understand the border better than anybody, even me. They want great people coming into the country. They dont want people taking their jobs or their houses. And taking their prosperity. We have had a tremendous relationship. I was given, by the way, the cubans do we have any cubans here . Pigs given the bay of award. They gave me the bay of pigs award to. That was a great thing. We are taking care of venezuela and of cuba. Joe biden and the radical left have an Outrageous Campaign against Law Enforcement which is a major reason why Violent Crime is surging in democratically led cities across the nation. When you have a democratically run city, you have problems. If joe biden is elected president , the chaos and bloodshed will spread to every community in our land. You will have a portland everywhere. Look at portland. Ago. Like from 100 years i will tell you, Homeland Security has been incredible. A number of days ago, we sent them to protect the courthouse. They have done a great job. Riots, they are terrorists and anarchists. They have been going on now for 64 days. Seven days ago, we sent them into protect the courthouse. We gave them a short period of time to clean up the city and sayrid of this lets these people because i always use a bad term and i would have in trouble with those people up there. With the news. There they are. We wouldve been in big trouble. But we clean it up and they emptied out the park last night. They are supposed to invite a thin but we invited ourselves in. If they do not clean it up, we will be sending in people and we will take care of it in about two hours. It will go very quickly but they know that. They know that. But i want to thank Homeland Security because they protected the courthouse. There, the they got graffiti was all over the place but they were looking to blow it up and tear it down. In joe bidens america, you and your family will never be safe. Rioters and criminals will be protected. Lawabiding citizens will be disarmed and American Families will be at the mercy of the havent leftwing mob you been watching on television. There will be no safety, no security, no peace, no justice, no went to protect you and know when to defend the american way of life. People like standing behind the will not be considered prime time. With me, they are considered prime time. They are the best we have. Have. Re the best we i mean it. Under my administration, we take a different approach. As president , i will always stand with the incredible men and women of Law Enforcement. That means youre unbelievable first responders, your unbelievable fire men and women, your unbelievable groups of people that work the ambulances and the doctors and the nurses that are so great. And we are with all of them. Upon taking office, i ended the last administrations eight year shares,to cripple our our Police Officers and Law Enforcement heroes all over our country. 700 60 million worth of surplus military equipment to protect police and the line of duty. Did all of you get some of that . Pretty much. Because they did not want to do it because they said it made the police look too strong. I said, what is that all about . And a lot of it is defensive trucks andike the the heavy armor. And we are sit it was sitting in warehouses all over the United States drawing dust. Some of it was brandnew and getting older. One of the first things i did was distribute it throughout the United States. I distributed it getting it to all of our Police Officers. Close to a billion dollars worth of equipment. We are sending hundreds of Law Enforcement officers and to places like chicago and other cities to help them and if they do not get their acts ,traightened out and chicago over the last few weeks, you have had hundreds of people shot and far too many people i wont even give you the numbers, it is a disgrace. Far too many People Killed including Young Children that to be by accident. They will either get their acts straightened out and cleaned up or we will get a cleaned up for them and they know that. I pledge to every Law Enforcement officer here and anywhere in this land that if i am reelected i will fight for Police Everything all day. I do anyway. I fight like hell for our police and sometimes i will see it on the other side. They always want to cut back from the police. You are talking about peanuts. Small amounts of money relative to the kind of harbor that can happen with horror that can happen. These people are great and they do a phenomenal job. They are brave and strong and frankly, i know they are well paid but not wellpaid enough as far as im concerned. I will work with the Republican Congress where we have great support for Law Enforcement to confront the far left local prosecutors and democratic run in democratically run cities who refused to prosecute crimes even murder. And when they do, they let people out almost instantly. This is incredible. You would not even believe it can be happening. They have murderers in philadelphia take a look at your chief prosecutor in philadelphia. In that city, people that kill and murder get out automatically and quickly or dont even go to jail at all. Killers. We will drive out the fanatically antipolice ideology of the radical socialists, willsts and our kids and i fight to make sure that criminals that murder our Police Officers with a fair trial quickly receive the Death Penalty. [applause] together we will keep American Families safe. We will make every American Community secure. And we will make America Great again. You have heard that before. And we were there until the virus came upon us and we will soon be there again. We will soon be there again. And china, we have not forgotten. We have not forgotten. Brevardlike to ask now county officer to speak a few words. Mr. President , thank you for standing with us today. County sheriff wayne ivey and today im proud to stand with fellow shares rum the state of florida as we proudly give our support to president donald j. Trump. Let there be no mistake, President Trump understands that the governments only responsibility is to protect its citizens. That is why myself and thousands of Law Enforcement officers across our nation support President Trump. He understands that we are the first and last line of defense for our citizens and our constitutional rights. I have been a Law Enforcement officer for over 40 years and i have never seen a time with challenges that our country faces today. There have been suggestions to Defund Police and go soft on crime and worst. That it is ok to commit acts of violence and looting because they oppose law and order. America needs a president that stands strong with our Law Enforcement officers and who will be unwavering in protecting our i call our three cs citizens, our cops, and our constitution. President mp is that and we know how important it is to have the continued support from the white house and to make sure that we have the resources, tools, and backing it takes to get the job done. We need a president that will continue to be unwavering and stand in standing strong for law and order. We need a president that will continue to say if you break the law, you will go to jail. And not a president that wants to give criminals hulks. Hugs now more than ever, we need a president that ignores the insanity of those that say we have to defund the police. And who stands shoulder to shoulder with our brave men and women who put their lives at risk. Donald j. Trump is a president. And what we need is to make absolutely certain that we keep him in washington, d. C. Or he can stand with those that protect our community and our country. Our lawrump stance with enforcement officers and our military. A president who honors those that have heroically stand at the gate fighting evil. There is only one president back and say is for law and order. He is the only one that can stand and say these are our cops. In my view there is only one candidate for president in 2020 that even understands what law and order means, and that is why we are standing here today, mr. President , in support of you, because we need someone in washington who will be unwavering in the support of our institution. E are proud to stand with him mr. President , we standing here with you and others around the country are proud to stand with you in the protection of our country and thank you for always standing with us, sir. [applause] how are you doing, tampa bay . [applause] who are we going to vote into august into office . That is right. We are going to break bring him back. Four more years we need him. You. T to say thank [applause] senator rick scott in d. C. Working hard for us, thank you, senator. [applause] mr. President , next time you come, we are going to do about the rate instead. It is much better. My beautiful wife bridget recommended that. I am proud to stand here with my fellow sheriffs introduce President Donald Trump for his reelection. Like him, like him we are praying for everybody to pass him. I am proud of President Trump standing with the loyal and strong Law Enforcement officers, that are out there trying to be peacemakers. Right now we are hurting. Our families are hurting. He is the one standing up there supporting us along with all of you. I want to say thank you very much. [applause] i will touch upon something that is getting lost out there but it is true what President Trump has done for us. He understands the Health Care Issue of Mental Health and Substance Abuse we deal with. Law enforcement has become an issue, but the Health Care Issue especially in florida we are dealing with. He has stood up during his presidency to help those people. During his first term, he has championed to extract to expand drug treatment and enhance reentry programs. People became addicts not because of issues of their own but because they were led to opioids. He has reached out to help them. Those are the people we deal with every day. When you hear the term defund the police, that is defunding is people with Mental Health and Substance Abuse that need our help. President trump did not ignore their plight. He helped them and our families because every one of us knows somebody. He knows the he held the First White House summit on Mental Health. He has been fighting to support those that need that help. In Health Care Issues we deal with in our community, our overwhelming Law Enforcement. He understands that. President trumps out there supporting us because he understands they are not just statistics how people have been killed by opioids. That is our grandchildren, our sons, our daughters, our brothers, our sisters and a friend. Those are people that need that help. This president stood up and is helping them help us help them too. [applause] President Trump has been that leader that has reached his hand out to so many different communities. He is reaching out, giving them a hand and getting them back on their feet. Those are the people we deal with. It is a person who is the victim of the effects of violence, who has had a drug addiction issue and is looking for help. Those are the quiet people that are out there that dont have a voice President Trump gave to. I am grateful to stand here with them because those are issues we deal with. I am proud to have a president that will reach out and give them a helping hand. That is something lost in our society is the big heart this president has. God bless our president and our country. [applause] mr. Trump so thank you very much. These people, i should not say this that i will. I wanted to come down the stairs of the beautiful plane, to shake their hands, to hug them and kiss them but i wont be able to do that for maybe 90 days or so. We will be back. But we want to thank you all. These are incredible people behind me, Law Enforcement. Some are allowed to do their job, many are not. Those are the places we are turning it around very strongly. I will always be with these great people. I will always the with them and never let them down and i will always be with the people of florida, your special states, very important to me. We are going to go on area the polls are going up. We had an easy campaign then got hit by the china virus. China could not have been happier because maybe we can get rid of that guy. We dont want him as president. We like the other one. They would own this country. If they dealt with biden, they would own this country. Would be very quick. Would not take long. Did not happen that way with me. We are going one way up and they were not doing well. I want to thank everybody here. Be careful a little bit tonight. There is a big storm. Dont know if it will be a hurricane or not, but it is significant. You know how to handle that better than anybody probably in the world. For you. E here the declaration is ready to be signed before you get hit. Thank you to florida and Law Enforcement. Incredible people. [applause] fellows. , thank you.
